• Antarctic ecosystem monitoring: quantifying the response of ecosystem indicators to variability in Antarctic krill (2005, background): “Black-browed albatrosses have a much greater foraging range than penguins and seals (Prince et al., 1997; Barlow et al., 2002), and a consistently lower proportion of krill in their diet (Reid et al.”
• Conflict or co-existence? Foraging distribution and competition for prey between Adélie and chinstrap penguins. (2002, methodology): “Locations of penguins carrying devices were provided by the AR-GOS system and assigned to one of six accuracy classes (3, 2, 1, 0, A, B). Following the approach of Barlow et al. (2002) only classes 1–3, which gave positions accurate to within 1–2 km, and class 0, which gave positions accurate to 4”
• Seasonal and interannual variation in foraging range and habitat of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus at South Georgia (2002, background): “There were no differences in foraging trip characteristics between the 2 years and the foraging distributions did not differ significantly (Barlow et al. 2002).”
• Community structure and feeding ecology of mesopelagic fishes in the slope waters of King George Island (South Shetland Islands,Antarctica) (2004, background): “Krill (Euphausia superba) plays an important role as the key prey item of a number of top predators, especially in the Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean (Barlow et al., 2002).”
• Diet and reproductive success of Adélie and chinstrap penguins: linking response of predators to prey population dynamics (2004, unknown): “Certain species are more vulnerable than others to natural or anthropogenic fluctuations in the availability of their main food source (Furness and Tasker 2000; Reid and Croxall 2001; Barlow et al. 2002).”
